Read the tutorials again. The dedicated server (SRCDS = Source Dedicated Server) works both in LAN and internet mode.

You can check your external IP address at http://whatismyip.com. You need to do port forwarding on your router too. Check Google for hosting a dedicated server behind NAT. Basically you need to a) do port forwarding correctly and b) may need to start srcds with -ip 0.0.0.0 parameter or -ip <your external ip>. The -ip parameter tells the srcds to listen connections on the specified IP. If you use 0.0.0.0 it should listen on all available IPs.

This stuff you can find on existing tutorials.
